Tuan Chau Island in northern Ha Long Bay, known as the "Garden of Eden" stands out from the thousands of other islands on the bay because of its ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Located eight kilometers from Ha Long city, Tuan Chau is the most beautiful and only populated island among 2,000 islands in Ha Long Bay which has twice received UNESCO recognition as a World Heritage site in the past. The island's lush greenery, white sands and international-standard facilities have attracted many visitors.
Tourists can indulge in sunshine and do water sports like surfing, paragliding, canoeing and beach volleyball on the 2-kilometer long beach.
Visitor can also take refuge in the green hills at the five-star hotel complex with 400 rooms. There is also a seaside resort where villas are designed with a traditional architectural style.
An international convention center and outdoor stage take center stage at the island. The 12,000-seat outdoor stage is home to several marine animal shows including dolphins, seals, belugas and crocodiles as well as a circus and high-tech laser fountain show.
The culinary area is a complex of many apartments designed to imitate the architecture of a 17th or 18th century traditional Vietnamese imperial palace. The area is surrounded by green pine trees that make visitors feel like they are going through heaven.
The complex covers 20,000 square meters and can serve 5,000 guests at the same time.
